Hboot 2.02.0002 - HTC Desire S

Does this hboot makes more complicated to flash roms? I've read that is not possible to format system/lib, so some roms have to be changed. How to delete system/lib then?
Is it advised to stay on that hboot or should be downgraded or s-off?

As far as i know only few latest ICS based ROMs require new HBOOT. I am on Fallout 5.0, worked fine with older HBOOT 6.98.2000 (Revolutionary root)

You can stay on that hboot and use 4EXT Recovery to format /system/lib. It will remain empty when you flash a ROM that is not supporting it so there is nothing to worry about
EDIT: I may be wrong, just saw the post in Scanob thread. But you can test it. Make a nandroid backup (and/or put a ROM on the SDcard), wipe /system/lib from recovery and reboot. If the ROM boots then it is true (/system/lib cannot be wiped). If does not boot (then /system/lib is wiped) reboot back to recovery: "adb reboot recovery" - you need USB debugging enabled in ROM and adb drivers on the PC or with the 3 key combo (hold Vol Down + Vol Up + Power) and restore the backup or flash the new ROM

Can anyone confirm that /system/lib can't be wiped or formated with hboot 2.02.0002 ?
I'd like to try the stock ICS update but I'm afraid that the RUU will replace my hboot (2.00.0002 unlocked) with hboot 2.02.0002.

Did you try to flash your boot.img in CLI with fastboot like you did when you installed your cutom ROM ?
Edit : Your question has nothing to do with the subject of this thread (Hboot 2.02.0002 ).

The RUU ICS Update installs:
hboot: 2.02.0002
radio: 3831.19.00.110
This also prevents me from updating cause i´m also afraid that rooting and installing custom roms won´t work afterwards.
Is there an opportunity to downgrade from 2.02.0002 to another hboot and install a previous RUU to root it via revolutionary for example?

I'm no expert but, I have HBoot 2.00.0002. HTC dev unlocked. And I have had no problem flashing any rom. I have tried Andromadus, Flinny, NK111, Codename android, and I'm currently using Jelly Time R15.0 as my daily use rom.

I'm not afraid of not being able to root my DS after the ICS RUU. I would be able to unlock the hboot again, flash ext4, then install SuperSu from the recovery.
I'm just afraid that the 2.02.0002 hboot will make it difficult for me to install custom ROMs in the future if this hboot restricts effectively the acess to /system/lib. But I would also like to try the new radio of the ICS RUU.
The alternate path I'm considering to follow is downgrading my hboot, S-OFF by revolutionary, flash hboot 2.00.2002, then flash stock ICS using a PG88IMG.zip where hboot and recovery would be removed.

Yes, this hboot makes it more complicated to flash ROMs because you have to flash the kernel - boot.img - separately using fastboot. But if the ROMs all share the same kernel, then you can skip this step.
The hboot has the extra system/lib partition, but that is only used by the latest stock HTC GB OTA and the HTC ICS RUU. Custom ROMs generally don't use it.
This partition can be formatted, for example using 4EXT, just like the other partitions.

How about flashing RUU_Saga_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.1_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199476_signed.exe over current Hboot 2.02.0002 with custom ROM?

I personally found that it couldn't flash custom roms without s-off due to being unable to write the /system directory. I had to downgrade the RUU so that I could get S-OFF with revolutionary in order to be able to. If you are upgrading with the ICS stock ROM you won't need to, but you will need to re-lock your hboot to flash the RUU

[Q] How Install Endymion from RUU 2.10.401.8 and HBOOT 2.00.0002 S-On

Hi at all,
I need to know if what i saying is right.
I Have HTC Desire S with original Rom 2.10.401.8 and HBOOT 2.00.0002 S-On
My goal is to install the Endymion
I read many thread and i understood that the curret way to do this is:
1) Downgrade My ROM from 2.3.5 ( 2.10.401.8 with HBOOT 2.00.0002) to a ROM 2.3.3 with HBOOT 0.98.00000 (Ex: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed.exe)
To do this i need to follow the steps from 1 to 7 of this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20535265&postcount=26
2) Now i need to change HBOOT, Change Recovery and Root the phone. To do this i need to use Revolutionary tool for Windows from http://revolutionary.io/ and follow the istruction.
3) Now i can download the custom Rom and install using this way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257731
Is It right?
Thanks
K.
100% right, just follow the instructions given by a particular ROM to flash though.
You can also look at HTCdev, but no point in using it (telling HTC you have voided your warranty) so I would use your method.
And 1.47.401.4 is Hboot 0.98.0002 (not that is matters though)
I have just done this this exact way and it worked great
Hi guys. I would like do the same thing with a Desire S, hboot 2.00.0002 S-ON.
After downgrading i'll have hboot 0.98.00000 S-ON.
Than, I should use revolutionary to get my phone S-OFFed and with a new recovery tool, is it right?! (Is there any guide, cause I'm a beginner...?)
Now, is my anroid 2.3.3 phone rooted?!?! So that I can install SU to remove app...
And now, if I would like to come back to android 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 rooted, can I flash a custom rom!? Or do I need something else, like installing clockworkmod recovery?
Thanks !!!

I would install 4ext recovery or the mentioned clockworkmod recovery.
After you have done so, you can flash any ROM (custom or not).
I prefer using a sense 3.5 ROM, but you can either choose sense 3.0 or AOSP.
But before flashing a new ROM you should always backup your system and data
Have fun!

[Q] Downgrade HBOOT Help

i have desire s which has
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
i unlocked the bootcode at htcdev and installed clockworkmod 5.0.2.0 and then installed cyonogen as my chosen rom.
I am having problems with really rubbish signal and was looking to downgrade my radio to a different version. I understand to do this I have to downgrade the HBOOT to a version which I can do true s-off.
as the phone is already rooted and has a custom recovery, do i just need to change the version on the phone using misc_version tool and then reflash using an RUU of my choice ?
forgive me if im being slighty stupid.
I was in the same situation, this is what I did. Hope it helps.

I have the same issue and have read the guides referred to in the following posts but I still have a question. I have read somewhere that you cannot HTCdev relock if you are on a custom Rom. Is this correct? If so I have a bigger problem as my backup of my original Rom will not restore possibly due to a lib partition issue.
Thanks in advance
You need to relock and flash RUU to boot the phone properly.
I make a unlook with htc dev. Then i flash The recovery and Make a nandroid Backup. After this i flash the customs. An all thinks u running.i have Nov Problems. All time. Tmo desire s

I had the same thing, I wanted to re-lock my Bootloader, downgrade it, S-OFF and upgrade to the re-engineered so that I would flash the latest radio.
I managed to get it done so I'm sharing it with you, so that you can do it too if you want.
The steps that I took are the following (I had a branded DS so I'm adding the Goldcard info too):
#0 took a full NAND backup of my currently running custom rom (FlashOne) and copied everything from the SD Card to my PC (I used it as a goldcard).
#1 Made a goldcard since I have a branded DS and afterwards put from the RUU the rom.zip file (renamed to PG88IMG.zip) in the sdcard root directory.
#2 from this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443636
went directly to step 6 and changed the misc_version.
#3 reboot in bootloader (having the Goldcard in) and let the ROM file install itself. Or if you're unbranded then you don't need neither the Goldcard, nor to reboot in bootloader, simply flash the RUU with the old Hboot/Radio (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506). I used: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe to get the rom.zip file.
#4 boot your "new" 2.3.3 android, remove the ROM file from the SD Card and proceed with revolutionary: http://revolutionary.io/
#5 I didn't want to flash CWM so I manually flashed from fastboot, 4EXT.
#6 did a full wipe of everything and copied the radio firmware on the SD card, rebooted in bootloader and flashed it
#7 used my sister's Wildfire S ( ) to access the SD card and remove the radio file and copied the new re-engineered Hboot. Rebooted in bootloader and flashed the new HBoot.
#8 that wildfire S saved me again, used it to remove the Hboot file from the SD card
#9 booted in 4ext recovery, accessed my sd card from there, formated it and copied in the SD Card the backed up contents from step #0.
#10 once done, I simply did a full wipe (again) and restored the FlashOne 2.0.4 backup that I had taken earlier.
And It's up and running!!!
Ok here are the steps I followed and gained s-off
I am assuming you are on 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 Hboot 2.0...
- Go to htc dev and unlock your bootloader
- Flash recovery (4EXT recommended)
- Flash any rom which is rooted ( I flashed Europe Stock pre rooted)
- This time you will have to flash boot.img from fastboot
- Follow steps here to downgrade http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1604255
- Run revolutionary and gain s-off your bootloader will be 6.98,,,
- Upgrade HBOOT using http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1679338
- Now you have latest hboot and s-off and you can flash any rom
since you are already rooted, you don't have to do much, just grab a misc version binary from anyone of the threads mentioned, change the misc version on your phone by simply writing 2 commands that are mentioned in any downgrading thread, relock the bootloader using «fastboot oem lock» and run any previous version ruu of your region(exe file), that should be all.
The only place where there's a scope of error is in running ruu, if so, a little search will do.

[Q] Need info about bootloader mode and other stuff

Hi im new to htc and bootloader and all this stuff.
when i had galaxy s2 i knew everything about it. (download, recovery)
so here is what i need to know:
1.can i create a NAND backup of a stock rom and restore to it if i have s-on?
2.what doe's ***tampered*** in bootloader mode means?
3.when i flash a custom rom and i extract the boot.img do i have to remove it from the zip file itself?
Thanks for any HELP!!!!

1. No, if you have S-ON you can't create a NAND backup as you don't have a custom recovery.
2. ***TAMPERED*** means that an app or apps have gone into your /system/ partition, thereby triggering the tampered flag. You can remove this message by running a HTC RUU.
3. No, you first flash the zip file with the boot.img inside, then flash the boot.img in the bootloader. fastboot flash boot boot.img
1.i do have a custom recovery which i flashed with all in one kit. (i was able to flash it because i unlocked the bootloader but i dont know what s-off means and also supercid)
so can i do a nand backup of a stock rom and restore to it?
and i also wanted to know how to s-off and what are the differences between s-off and supercid?

Then yes you can make a backup and restore later. Just always full wipe, cache and dalvik cache wipe.
As far as flashing kernels/boot.img, if you are < hboot 1.13 then just flash via recovery. If your hboot is > or = to hboot 1.13tjen flash via fastboot or flash img GUI (available in the play store and in various threads).
And as of right now there is no s-off for the one s.

S-Off means you have full access to all firmware partitions of the phone (I think, correct me if Im wrong). You can unlock the boot loader to gain access to the relevant partitions to flash a custom ROM even with S-ON.
The phone CID just represents the region it is from. For example HTC_TMOUS is for the One S used on the US T-Mobile network. When the phone checks for updates, it only downloads the one's relevant to the CID. SuperCID is 111111111 and represents the "developer" region you can download or run any update on a One S with super CID.

Yes, you can make nand backups and restore them if you have a custom recovery. You don't need to have s-off for that but you do need to have your bootloader unlocked. Depending on your hboot version, restoring a nand backup will not restore your boot image. (1.09 and below will, 1.13 and up won't.) We do now have the means to downgrade hboot tho.
You get the *tampered* line if your recovery is unsigned. When you use a custom rom, you will most likely also get a red warning text over your boot splash. It's normal.
You have to extract the boot image from the rom zip and flash it in fastboot before you boot the new rom. This may even be before you flash the new rom. You can leave the rom zip unchanged and flash it in recovery.

Correct. On old hboots, pretty much everything except sbl and hboot is writable in recovery or even while fully booted. On newer hboots, most is read-only. Boot image can be flashed in fastboot but radio and other stuff can not.

The mksh root request is a known thing. You can search the forums for it to read some opinions. As far as I know not yet properly explained why it happens but harmless. It is not related to getting stuck in recovery, altho I have no idea what caused that for you.

you have to flash the boot.img of a rom if you are s-on
must also be rooted.
1. plug phone into pc
2. mount sdcard in twrp
3. copy rom to your computer
4. extract boot.img
5. reboot to bootloader (also done in twrp)
6. highlight "fastboot" and press power and the phone should say "Fastboot USB"
7. open a command promt (type cmd into search box on windows7) and cd to your adb/fastboot folder
8. type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
9. reboot to recovery and install your rom
10. reboot system when done
if you arent rooted, use the toolkit in the development area and root.
What ROM are you trying to install? If it's any recent aosp your current hboot version is the problem. All current aosp ROMs require the 2.14 hboot which you can get by running the 3.18 RUU. S-off is highly recommended, if you run a jb RUU with SuperCID and s-on your phone will brick.
Sent from my Evita
I am trying to get cm10.2. so should my first step right now be getting the 3.18 RUU or getting s-off?
Ok, first, please read the instructions of any ROM you're going to flash, it's stated very clearly in the cm10.2 thread that an update is needed before flashing the ROM. One of the most important rules of XDA is to search before posting, proper searching limits the amount of unnecessary threads.
Get s-off first, if you don't already have SuperCID you will need that in order to get s-off. Use the hex edit method to get SuperCID, then you can get s-off in the Facepalm S-off thread. Your best bet to go through this process is to temporarily flash a Sense ROM, any Sense 4 Android 4.1 ROM should be fine. Once all that's done you can run the 3.18 RUU, then flash TWRP recovery again and flash CM.

ok i got both super cid and soff. so my next step is to flash a sense 4.1 rom correct? any suggestions?
edit: i downloaded RageXL so do i just flash in twrp?
No you don't need to do that, I meant you should try a 4.1 ROM in order to get s-off. If you have SuperCID and s-off now you can go ahead and run the RUU.

Not sure how you got that notion. Its actually a bit easier to mod older firmware versions, due to the fact that HTC keeps plugging the various exploits with successive (newer) firmware builds.
There is currently no firmware version for this device that would leave you "stuck" not being able to flash custom ROMs.

This is how I proceed :
1) Downgrade to 2.15 hboot by flashing the old firmware (extract firmware.zip and flash as you did for MaximusHD)
2) Run the latest RUU to get everything clean (I flashed this one)
3) Flash custom recovery with fastboot (TWRP 2.3.X.X)
4) You're done !

In fact, the CID matters if you have one from an operator (have a look here, but not the last one, it's the superCID), in this case, you have to choose a RUU according to your operator.
But being superCID, you can run any RUU, so run the last generic one (see my link) and everything will be ok to start from official clean install. Of course you'll stay S-OFF after running the RUU.
The only thing requested is to be on 2.15 hboot, that's why you have to downgrade to older firmware in order to run this.
Hope it will help.
I have kind of a similar question. After moonshine S-OFF, I'm on modified moonshine HBOOT 2.15.4444. Now I want to go back to the stock HBOOT 2.15.0000. Do I just need to run the RUU to go back? I'm bootloader unlocked, CID T-MOB010, TWRP recovery, and I flashed radio 1.20. Do I need to flash radio back to match the RUU before I run it?
Thanks

Running an RUU is the safest option, although its a bit hit and miss getting the RUU to run correctly. Flashalot recently made a guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678700) if you run into any problems. I would try it without changing the radio, if it doesn't work then flash the matching one and go from there.
Now I cannot recommend this, as I have only tried it once myself and the consequences if it went wrong could mean a dead phone, but this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39216236&postcount=274) details how you can manually flash a hboot version in RUU mode since you are S-OFF. It comes from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777223. Use it at your own risk, there have been two incidents of bricks but it depends how lucky you are feeling!

Yeah I heard about that method, but I thought it would be safer to just run the RUU even though it's more work. I think the bricks were from flashing the zips in recovery, not the new ones you flash in fastboot. Either way, I didn't feel like risking it.
Thanks! I'll try the RUU.

Wise choice, yeah you are right, the bricks were when they were flashing the zips in recovery. Its actually pretty safe in RUU mode but what's the point of risking it.

So actually you can confirm you are on HBOOT 2.15, Pihllz recovery and no rom installed ?
If yes reboot to bootloader, select clear storage, flash this recovery. Your sdcard should be mountable and let you install your rom.
